Polysphere and Paint the Flag both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 48% of Polysphere's written reviews are positive against 20% of Paint the Flag's. Polysphere also leads on ratings volume (607K vs 17K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polysphere sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Paint the Flag sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
